Friendly paperwork help for truckers
Hey driver, let's knock out your paperwork.

Say hi: milemarkerfiling@gmail.comUCR disclaimer
This website is not affiliated with the Unified Carrier Registration Plan. This website is operated by a private company that provides a private registration service for an additional fee. You are not required to use this site to register with the UCR Plan. You may register directly with the UCR Plan at www.ucr.gov.
Not a government agency
Mile Marker Filing is a private business. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), the UCR Plan, or any government agency. You can file your MCS-150 biennial update yourself for free at motus.dot.gov. You can also file IFTA returns yourself at no service charge through WisDOT's WisCRS system, and apply for a USDOT number or operating authority yourself at motus.dot.gov. My fees are only for the help preparing them. Government fees are separate.
How it works
- You keep your own account. Your company keeps its own Motus account. You add Mile Marker Filing as your service provider. We're a Transportation Service Provider registered in FMCSA's Motus system, and we'll send you the details to add us after you sign up. That registration lets you grant us access; it is not an FMCSA approval or endorsement of our business.
- I never ask for your password. Not for Motus, Login.gov, UCR, or anything else. If anyone asks for it, don't share it.
- I prepare the filing. I put together the update from the information you give me.
- You review and submit. You check every detail, then certify and submit it yourself. For UCR, your company's authorized representative reviews and approves the registration.
- You get a record. I keep a record and screenshot of the completed filing and send you a copy.
Services
UCR annual registration
$77 service fee
Plus the UCR government fee, passed through at cost with no markup. For 2027, the fee for carriers with 0–2 vehicles is $55 under 49 CFR 367.50. You can register directly at www.ucr.gov.
UCR third-party provider signup is pending.
Bundle: MCS-150 update + UCR registration
$229 service fee
Both services together, plus the UCR government fee passed through at cost with no markup ($55 for carriers with 0–2 vehicles in 2027).
IFTA quarterly fuel tax return (Wisconsin carriers)
$79 service fee per quarter
Send me your miles and fuel receipts by state. I total them up and prepare your Wisconsin IFTA return. After you approve the numbers, it gets filed in WisDOT's WisCRS system. Any tax owed is paid by you directly to WisDOT; I never handle your tax money. Even a zero-mile quarter must be filed. Due Apr 30, Jul 31, Oct 31 and Jan 31.
Setup: you sign WisDOT form MV2940 and a limited power of attorney. I'll walk you through both.
New USDOT number + MC authority
$269 service fee
Plus FMCSA's $300 application fee, which you pay directly to FMCSA in Motus. FMCSA does not refund it. I prepare your application after you verify your identity and add me as your service provider. You review it, sign the oaths and submit. Your insurance company files your insurance with FMCSA; I don't sell insurance.
BOC-3 process agent filing: add $49. It's filed by an independent FMCSA-listed blanket process agent, not by Mile Marker Filing.
USDOT number reactivation
$169 service fee
Number went inactive after a missed biennial update or an out-of-business filing? I prepare the update that turns your existing USDOT number back on, so you keep your history. There's no government fee, and you can do it yourself for free at motus.dot.gov. If your number was placed out of service for safety reasons, a filing can't fix that. I'll tell you before you pay anything.
Compliance Calendar & Reminders
$15 per month · $149 per year
Or $49 per year as an add-on to any filing service.
A paid reminder service. I track the federal filing deadlines I know of for your company, including your MCS-150 biennial update, your UCR annual registration, and deadlines for any other services you buy from me. Then I email you a reminder before each one is due. Cancel anytime.
Reminders are a courtesy. They don't replace your own legal responsibility to file on time. I don't give legal or tax advice. Government fees are not included. You can track these deadlines and file for free yourself.
Why truckers pick Mile Marker
- Flat, upfront prices. You see the price before you pay.
- No hidden fees. Government fees are passed through at cost, and anything extra is listed up front.
- A real person answers your email.
- Small Wisconsin business. Based in Muskego.
Turnaround times
- Email answers: within 1 business day.
- MCS-150 update: usually prepared within 1 business day after your payment and paperwork are received.
- Government processing: times vary and are set by the agency (FMCSA, the UCR Plan or WisDOT), not by me.
Registered, real, and upfront
- We're registered with FMCSA as a Transportation Service Provider, which means we file MCS-150 updates through FMCSA's own system using our own credentials. We never ask for your FMCSA login or PIN.
- Mile Marker Filing is a federally registered business with an IRS employer ID, based in Wisconsin.
- Flat prices are posted up front. Government fees are charged at cost with no markup, and you'll get a receipt for every filing.
- We're a private company, not the government. You can always file these yourself for free, but we use our time and save yours.
How to spot a scam filing site
- Fake urgency or threats. Messages saying you'll be fined or shut down if you don't respond today. FMCSA says that's not how its registration process works.
- Pretending to be FMCSA. Government-looking seals, names or web addresses that look like FMCSA or USDOT but aren't. Real FMCSA sites end in .gov, and FMCSA emails almost always come from a .gov address.
- Asking for your FMCSA PIN or login. Anyone who asks for your USDOT PIN, portal login, SSN or bank details in an unsolicited message is a red flag.
- Hidden or unlisted fees. If you can't see the full price before you pay, walk away. FMCSA doesn't charge to file your biennial MCS-150 update yourself.
- No clear "we're private" statement. A legit service tells you it's a private company and not the government.
Not sure a message is real? Go straight to FMCSA's fraud alerts page. Report imposters to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
Questions truckers ask
Are you with the government?
No. Mile Marker Filing is a private business, not affiliated with FMCSA, USDOT, the UCR Plan or WisDOT. You can always file free yourself: MCS-150 and USDOT filings at motus.dot.gov (FMCSA), UCR at plan.ucr.gov, and Wisconsin IFTA with WisDOT.
How does payment work?
Once we agree on the work, I send you a PayPal invoice. You pay first, then I file. Government fees are passed through at cost with no markup. Partner fees, like the BOC-3 add-on, are listed up front before you pay.
What do you need from me?
Your company name, USDOT number and the details for the filing (for example, current vehicle and driver counts for an MCS-150). For Motus filings, you add me as your service provider. For IFTA, it's your miles and fuel receipts by state plus the WisDOT setup forms. I never need your password, Social Security number or driver's license.
How long does it take?
I answer email within 1 business day. An MCS-150 update is usually prepared within 1 business day after your payment and paperwork are received. After that, government processing times vary and aren't up to me.
What states do you serve?
Federal filings (MCS-150, UCR, new USDOT/MC, reactivation) work for carriers in any state. IFTA returns are for Wisconsin-based carriers only.
What if I change my mind?
You get a full refund of my service fee if I haven't filed yet. Government and partner fees can't be refunded once they're paid.
Do I have to review the filing?
Yes. You check every detail and certify it yourself. You know your business best, and the filing is in your company's name.

Payment
Invoices are sent via PayPal from Wishful Ventures (the business account used for Mile Marker Filing) for Mile Marker Filing services, only after we've agreed on the work. The charge appears on statements as WISHFUL VENTURES / WISHFULVEN. I never send government-looking notices or letters. If you get a notice that looks official and asks for payment, check it with FMCSA or UCR directly.
